Active Directory User Group and Rights Management SOP

Purpose

Control AD users, groups, delegation and privileged rights throughout the account lifecycle.

Decision Summary

Avoid direct per-user ACLs. Protect privileged/operator groups and alert on membership changes.

Use Cases

Onboarding, transfers, offboarding, security groups, OU delegation and service accounts.

Hardware Requirements

Supported server, secure management path, current backup and adequate workload capacity.

Backup Strategy

Export permissions and back up configuration/application data before material changes.

Recovery Strategy

Use approved break-glass access or restore known-good configuration; revoke unintended access and validate.

Secure Boot Notes

Keep Secure Boot enabled where supported; access administration does not require disabling it.

Version History

v1.0 — 2026-08-04 — Initial controlled SOP.
